I am a slacker, and you, good sir, are awesome. And I&#39;m sorry about the Blackhawks. I live in St Louis and we bleed blue here, but I love to make an escape to Chicago every now and then. I lived in RI for awhile, but never made it to Boston. One of these days when my life is less about raising little adults and more about fun and adventure, I&#39;m gonna go. ;)snowelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774922203013114354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-62734025134943716172013-06-27T16:03:22.202-04:002013-06-27T16:03:22.202-04:00I was just speaking of Boston the other day, how I...I was just speaking of Boston the other day, how I loved the city and outter areas...and I was only there one time. <br />Chicago..I guess I was too green when I went last time...many years ago. <br />They have a common and that&#39;s sports fer sure.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008645437111297913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-9752595200621691152013-06-27T00:24:48.043-04:002013-06-27T00:24:48.043-04:00I thought of you when I heard the outcome of the g...I thought of you when I heard the outcome of the game.

But that game last night had to be utterly brutal for Bruins fans. I can only imagine the emotional whiplash from &#39;bring on Game 7!&#39; to &#39;holy f***ing shit&#39; in 17 seconds.<br /> <br />Of course, the fact that the game will go down as a classic provides scant comfort, as you will now be privileged to re-live it again and again, whenever some media entity decides to help us all recapture the moment. . . Ugh.<br /> <br />Anyway, in the spirit of the most recent World Series, the &#39;09 NCAA hoop final, and the &#39;09 Cup final (to say nothing of the &#39;05 NBA Finals, or 50+ years of rooting for the Lions) I can feel your pain. At least a little. . .<br /> <br />I promise, the sun will come up tomorrow (unless, you know, it doesn&#39;t, in which case we&#39;ll have bigger things to worry about. . .)<br /><br />As to Chicago, most of my family that isn&#39;t me lives there (they snuck away while I was in college).
